What’s New Under the Lid?

Your new washer will operate differently than your past agitator-style washer.

To allow for higher spin speeds, the lid will lock and the Lid

Locked light will turn on. When this light is lit, the lid is locked

and cannot be opened. When this light is blinking, the washer

is paused. When this light is off, the lid can be opened. After

The lid will lock before the spin phase begins. If you need to

pause or stop after this point, you must press START/STOP/

PAUSE/UNLOCK LID and wait for the lid to unlock. The lid will

only unlock after washer movement has stopped. Depending on

when in the cycle you try to pause, it may take several seconds

to several minutes for the lid to unlock. Press START/STOP/

PAUSE/UNLOCK LID to resume the cycle.

is an off-balance load.

At different stages of the wash cycle, you may hear sounds

and noises that are different from those of your previous washer.

For example, you may hear a clicking and hum at the beginning

of the spin phase as the lid lock goes through a self-test. There

will be different kinds of humming sounds as the agitator tests

for load balance or moves the load. And sometimes, you may

hear nothing at all, as the washer determines the correct water

level for your load or allows time for clothes to soak.

Select cycles default to a spray rinse. During these cycles,

you will hear water enter the washer as the tub spins, allowing

the rinse water to penetrate clothes. Check the “Cycle Guide”

for details.

not redeposited onto clean clothes. Not all detergents labeled

as High Efciency are identical in formulation and their ability to

reduce suds. For example, natural, organic, or homemade HE

detergents may generate a high level of suds. Always follow the

detergent manufacturer’s instructions to determine the amount

of detergent to use.

IMPORTANT: The lid must be closed before the washer basket lls with water and for the wash cycle to start. If the lid is open and

lling stops, close the lid and press START/STOP/PAUSE/UNLOCK LID to complete the cycle.

Helpful Tips:

■ When washing waterproof or water-resistant items,

load evenly.

■ Use mesh garment bags to help avoid tangling when

washing delicate or small items.

■ Turn knits inside-out to avoid pilling. Separate lint-takers

from lint-givers. Synthetics, knits, and corduroy fabrics

will pick up lint from towels, rugs, and chenille fabrics.

NOTE: Always read and follow fabric care label instructions

to avoid damage to your garments.

to the bottom of the washer basket before adding clothes.

IMPORTANT: Use only High Efciency detergents. The

package will be marked “HE” or “High Efciency.” Using

non-HE detergent will likely result in longer cycle times and

reduced rinsing performance. It may also result in component

malfunction and, over time, buildup of mold or mildew. HE

detergents should be low-sudsing and quick-dispersing to

produce the right amount of suds for the best performance.

They should hold soil in suspension so it is not redeposited

onto clean clothes. Not all detergents labeled as High

Unlocking the lid to add garments

If you need to open the lid to add 1 or 2 missed garments:

Press START/STOP/PAUSE/UNLOCK LID; the lid will unlock

once the washer movement has stopped. This may take

several minutes if the load was spinning at high speed. Then

close lid and press START/STOP/PAUSE/UNLOCK LID again

during the wash portion of the cycle, press START/STOP/

PAUSE/UNLOCK LID and leave the lid closed. Once your

desired soak time has elapsed, press START/STOP/PAUSE/

UNLOCK LID again to continue the cycle. As long as the

lid remains closed, your soak time can be longer than 10

minutes. However, if the lid is opened during the soak and

remains open for more than 10 minutes, the water will pump

out automatically.

During the nal rinse, wait until the washer has completed

adding fabric softener. The Extra Rinse option uses
